What size dressing table do I need?

Always measure the wall space before you buy. A small dressing table typically starts at around 70–80cm wide, which is enough surface for daily essentials, without eating into the room. Depth usually runs between 35 and 45cm, and you'll want at least 60cm of clear floor space in front for a stool. For wall height, allow 80cm for the table and a further 80cm if you're adding a mirror on top.

Is a corner dressing table a good idea for a small bedroom?

Yes. A corner dressing table gives dead space a purpose, besides collecting clutter, meaning without sacrificing space elsewhere. Look for a width of 70–90cm, and choose a stool that tucks fully underneath so the floor stays clear. If the corner is on the darker side, a small lamp beside the mirror solves the problem.

Do dressing tables come with a mirror included?

Not always, so it's worth checking before you get to the checkout. If yours doesn't, a wall-mounted mirror above the table is actually the better option in most cases. It keeps the surface free and stops the whole setup from feeling cluttered. Prefer something on the table? A triptych mirror with three hinged panels that can be angled independently is a favourite for a reason.

What materials are dressing tables usually made from?

Most of our dressing tables are made from particle board, MDF, or solid wood, including pine and oak. Here's a quick breakdown:

  • Particle board - The most widely available option in the range. Lightweight, affordable, and takes painted finishes well.
  • MDF - Smooth and easy to paint, which makes it a popular choice for contemporary bedroom styles.
  • Pine - A solid wood option with a warm, natural feel, working well in traditional or country-style bedrooms.
  • Oak - The most durable choice in the range. Hard-wearing, ages well, and tends to improve over time.
  • Wood - Solid wood construction for a sturdy, long-lasting finish that suits a range of bedroom styles.

How much storage does a dressing table have?

It varies by design, but most include at least two drawers, which is plenty for make-up, jewellery, and small accessories. Larger models often have a central drawer flanked by two deeper side drawers for a bit more room. If you find yourself needing extra space, a bedside table nearby can handle the overflow and keep the surface clear for the things you actually reach for every day.

Where is the best place to put a dressing table in a bedroom?

A spot near a window is ideal, positioned at a right angle to the light rather than facing it head-on to prevent glare from hitting the mirror. Avoid placing the table with the window directly behind you when seated, as it casts a shadow across your face. If natural light isn't an option, a corner placement with a lamp beside the mirror works well and keeps the rest of the room feeling open.

Can I get a dressing table and stool together?

Some of our dressing tables come as a set with a matching stool, and where that's the case, it'll be shown in the product listing. If you're buying a stool separately, go for one with an upholstered seat for everyday comfort, and check that the height leaves your elbows at roughly table level when seated. That's the position that makes applying makeup easier.
